An alkaline simple thermal spring supplied from Gero Onsen's Koda pump station. Lightly mineralized at 354 mg/kg of dissolved solids, it is gentle on the body, yet the alkalinity gives it the slippery, soft-on-the-skin feel that places it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family. A generous 66.7 mg/kg of metasilicic acid backs that up, leaving a thin silica film that makes skin feel smoother afterwards. The posted analysis lists this spring type as documented for autonomic nervous system instability, insomnia and depressed mood, on top of the usual chronic muscle and joint complaints.
